Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a logical concept of probability which seems to be obvious, as it is, but the author is not aware of any elaboration of a developed studies on the issue or of any special philosophical application of it. Such a probability of the formula A, of the language of the propositional logic, is the quotient of the number of Boolean valuations of formula A of the classical propositional calculus, which takes the logical value 1, to the number of all Boolean valuations of such a formula A. An application of this concept of logical probability to the solution of the Linda problem is given.
